Economic reform overdue늦은 경제 개혁<10월23일자 사설>In February 2014， President Park Geun-hye unveiled a three-year economic reform plan to mark the first anniversary of her inauguration.

In unison한마음으로<10월19일자 사설>President Park Geun-hye`s trip to the U.S. last week seems to have attained some of its goals， including awakening Americans and the international community to the urgent need to tackle North Korea and assuring them South Korea is not seeking close relations with China at the expense of its ties with the U.S.지난 주 박근혜 대통령의 방미는 북한에 대한 대처가 시급함을 미국과 국제사회에 일깨우고 한국이 미국과의 관계를 희생하며 중국과의 관계 강화를 모색하고 있지 않음을 확인시키는 등 어느 정도 목표를 이룬 것으로 보인다.

Lopsided inheritanceDear Annie: While my mother was still alive, she gave a substantial amount of money to my oldest son, “Rick.” Everyone but Mother knew she was supporting his drug habit (which he has since overcome).
